darlings
it’s been a long road to get all the right attorneys and corporation data and paperwork in Place in order to set up a small-business-bank-account but yesterday – it happened!
quite a whirl of Officialdom to get to This Point.
we had to ask our NY attorney to ask the secretary of state for NYC to get us a certificate of good standing (sort of like a Good Conduct Prize at school) and then find an L.A based attorney to file paperwork telling the good people of california that we’re here (Transfer from one boarding school to another due type paperwork) and then taking the checks (british = cheques) which we’d been keeping in a plastic envelope, safely already received for Work Done To Date by teamgloria, inc and Sign here and there and by-the-cross and suddenly (after 5 months) it was DONE!
so happy.
and we’ve noticed that HSBC (where we’ve been banking for 15 years – along with – it turns out – some rather notorious types) has had to hire a SPY to come in and look closely at the books.
gosh.
we decided on our new business bank for two reasons:
1/they support female entrepreneurs and give them prizes on the court at the lady-Lakers games which is jolly nice
2/they’re in the CAA building in the centre of century city.
and it would be ever so delicious to bump into Nicole, Meryl or Oprah as they go to visit Their Agent, non?
talking about lovely people – look who RT (retweeted if you’re not familiar with twitter-speak) us yesterday!
so thank you to the lovely Darcy Smallwood* who Handled Everything at Comerica yesterday and was not only kind but funny and warm and we had the nicest time setting up the account.
*only we could find a banking official in Los Angeles who sounds like a Jane Austen heroine, darlings!
and thank you to beautycalypse for the glowing green emerald pen – it’s very much at home here in Hollywood.
like our new bank account.
yesterday we did something we haven’t done for a while.
we sat in a green park and sipped a non-fat milk americano (small one) and just felt awfully happy and at peace and reminded ourselves that patience is a Virtue and will Build Character.
Splendid, splendid. Is there emerald green ink in the emerald green pen?
gosh.
we just tried it.
it’s a Pencil!
A pencil! A PENCIL! How cute.
Dearest G
Hurrah and thank heavens!!
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
thank you dear man. we are Most Relieved.
Congratulations on being doubly official – first a green card and now a shinny new bank account and the inc-thingy.
*peersintocrystalball* and foresees lots of cheques from writing gigs and royalties flowing into your new account.
so happy with your foretelling and crystal-ball-ness!
*smiles*
(very happily)

it’s emerald green – *emerald*
:)
congrats to the inc.-thing settled. I believe, though, that’s it’s even more tedious to start a business in good ol’ Germoney. I know, it’s no relief :) just saying.
we’ve heard that too.
and every time we wanted to bitch about immigration we were reminded by friends how much Harder it is to Get Into England now so we shut up.
the EMERALD pencil is divine. !
you are so lovely for thinking of us.
Beautiful. But Mr. Godwin wiped away all of my syrupy comments! Teehee.
well, we English are a little afraid of syrup ;-)
Good show old girl.
I had a 99 on the beach :) x
we read this yesterday and instantly went and bought a gelato to eat while waiting for the pharmacy to make up our thyroid replacement pills.
it was delicious.
